Claim timers, yay or nay?

Josh2507 · March 14

I don’t really understand why this exists. It’s a very low effort solo objective, meaning you basically do nothing to claim it. But then you’re limited to one claim per day.

Why isn’t this just a calendar? We had that system for years with past side quest keys.

I’m fine with limiting entries over time, but don’t make me jump through hoops and overcomplicate the whole thing.

Claim 7 every week on day 1.
Claiming 1 is stupid design.

Get out of here with your logical suggestions

I could live with claim all 7 at the beginning of the week but one per day is silly.

Pikolu · March 14

Wait, you guys are doing the side quest?

SQ design is already lazy and recycled, might as well make it less annoying for us to do at this point

Kabam Miike · March 14

This is no different than a Calendar except that it allows you to miss days without missing out on the entry keys.

Also, there is little difference between collecting 7 on Day 1 and doing them all that day or Collecting 7 on Day 7 and doing them that day.

SQs have been so boring lately and very repetitive, the least they should do is let us get it out of the way on week one if we want to. I really don't get why they keep adding timers for these things.

Yay

Actually I like this cuz, since I get one everyday ,(opposed to 7 each week) and the solo quest/solo objectives rewards are insanely good, this helps me to do quest daily instead of stacking them up for one day at the end of the quest.(I'm a professional procrastinator)

Josh2507 · March 14

Nay

But what if I want to do 7 runs on day 3?

Collecting 7 keys at the start if the week would allow me to do that, the other system would not

Drago_von_Drago · March 14

There is a very significant difference between having 7 days to complete something and 1 day when the store resets once a week.

The fact that the team doesn’t recognize this is disappointing.

Siliyo · March 14

Actually, there is a difference. If we have all 7 on Day 1 that means we have the option do them all on Days 1-7 (whenever we’re free or we can break it up how we want). If we get all on Day 7, that means you HAVE to make sure you do it all by that last day.

But this isn't a calendar. It's a monthly side quest. Shouldn't we have more flexibility?

I agree with comments above. This is all constructive feedback, hoping the team considers it.

Please stop butchering the side quests. It used to be the best event i looked forward to, now it’s redundant to even add if you aren’t able to enjoy playing it. Less fights is good, but for subpar rewards we should be able to do more runs at a time.

Adding to the other player comments, also we already have enough "calendars" in the game, we have to login daily for almost everything, recently you guys added also the Track to the list, locking rewards to daily claim; we dont want more things locked to daily or weekly content, we have already AQ, AW, BGs, Objectives, the calendars themselves, 22h missions, the Aphotecary, the 24h and 4h Crystals.

Adding side quests to the list is just discouraging; we already have bad side quests design wise, if you add also that you lock them behind some timers, it just becomes even worse.

Side Quest used to be the funniest thing to do monthly, it has become the complete opposite of it

Pikolu · March 14

He is saying that in the past, kabam would do a calendar with keys for the side quest. That'd also mean that if you don't log in, then you will literally miss a key. To counteract that, kabam made this style of event that essentially works the same as a calendar, but you can miss days and still be fine.

Typhoon · March 14

For sure. But there is something to the 7 on day 1 v 7 on day 7 argument.

Normax_X · March 15

Nay

right like it just adds another unnecessary milestone event to the preexisting 2 milestone events and 11 quests that are all working for 1 singular side quest

Jack2634 · March 15

Nay

as a hotheaded impatience mf who failed to save up to 5k myst cuz , i disapprove this

SirGamesBond · March 15

It would matter less if the store would not reset on day 7. Which gives, the players, 1-2 day to buy stuff before it reset. Just saying.
Saw some people missed their first week store cuz they didn't know better.
...

Compared to last month;
Where some people procrastinated as usual, were able to get their rewards by spamming daily entries on any day in the month.

Real thanks to richtheman, who breakdown the store for me. I was going to get 10 nc tokens and miss on other bundles, now I will be getting nc tokens on week 4.

Shamir51 · March 15

There's only 7 quests for this month's side quest, not 11.

Suros_moon · March 15

Out of curiosity, why can’t we have all the entries up front and self pace?

laserjohn26 · March 15

Nay

That's not true at all Miike. I'm sure you were given advice as a kid to not wait until the last minute to do your homework. Things happen and you might have every intention and plans to do it on the last day, and life throws you a curveball.
